Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.
“The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting from expert farceurs.”
– The New York Times

SEA DOG THEATER SEEKS TO TELL STORIES OF ALIENATION AND RECONCILIATION
We create theater about and for people on the margin of society, exploring the realms of personal, interpersonal, communal, societal, and existential alienation, and investigating the conditions necessary for reconciliation to occur. Our method of reconciliation is not just in the art-making, but also in the convening of artists and audiences to dialogue with one another.
Sea Dog Theater depends on the support of its Sustaining Members. Donations can be made at the box office, and online at seadogtheater.org/support. You can use the QR code to make a contribution right now.
